EarthQuake Script

EarthQuake Script - Dynamic Natural Disaster System for FiveM

Transform your FiveM server with realistic earthquake events that create intense roleplay scenarios and test your community's emergency response capabilities. This advanced natural disaster script brings unpredictable seismic activity to Los Santos, forcing players to adapt, respond, and survive through coordinated emergency services.

What This Script Does

The EarthQuake Script simulates realistic earthquake events with screen shake effects, environmental responses, and configurable intensity levels. When an earthquake strikes, players experience genuine ground motion that affects vehicle handling, character movement, and creates chaos across the server. It's not just a visual effect - it's a complete disaster simulation system that transforms ordinary gameplay into high-stakes survival scenarios.

What sets this apart is the unpredictability factor. Earthquakes can be triggered manually by admins for special events or set to occur randomly, keeping your player base on their toes. The intensity scales from minor tremors that barely rattle windows to major quakes that send vehicles sliding and players scrambling for cover.

Key Features

• Realistic Screen Shake - Camera effects that simulate genuine earthquake motion with adjustable intensity
• Admin Controls - Trigger earthquakes on command or set automatic random events
• Configurable Duration - Set quake length from quick tremors (5-10 seconds) to prolonged disasters (30+ seconds)
• Magnitude Scaling - Choose from minor (2.0-3.0) to catastrophic (7.0+) earthquake intensities
• Server-Wide Sync - All players experience the same earthquake simultaneously for coordinated roleplay
• Vehicle Impact - Cars and bikes become harder to control during strong quakes
• Alert System - Optional notifications warn players before or during seismic events
• Performance Optimized - Minimal resource usage (0.01ms typical resmon)

Perfect For

• Emergency Services Roleplay - Test fire, police, and EMS response to natural disasters
• Survival Servers - Add environmental hazards to hardcore survival gameplay
• Event Servers - Create memorable scripted disaster scenarios
• Realistic RP Communities - Bring unpredictable real-world events into your city
• Training Scenarios - Prepare emergency teams for crisis response situations

How It Works

Admins can trigger earthquakes through a simple command system or configure automatic random events in the config file. When activated, the script synchronizes across all connected players, ensuring everyone experiences the earthquake at the same moment. The intensity you set determines how severe the screen shake effect appears and how much it impacts vehicle physics.

During an earthquake, players will notice their screen shaking with realistic motion patterns - not just random vibration, but actual seismic wave simulation. If they're driving, vehicles become more difficult to steer as the ground shifts beneath them. Emergency service personnel can use this as training for disaster response, coordinating rescues and maintaining order during the chaos.

Installation & Setup

1. Download and extract the earthquake script files
2. Place the resource folder in your server's resources directory
3. Add ensure earthquake-script to your server.cfg
4. Configure magnitude ranges, duration, and trigger settings in config.lua
5. Set admin permissions for manual earthquake triggers
6. Restart server and test with /earthquake [magnitude] [duration]

Framework Compatibility

• ✅ Standalone - Works on any FiveM server without framework dependencies
• ✅ ESX - Fully compatible with ESX Legacy and older versions
• ✅ QBCore - Integrates seamlessly with QB-Core servers
• ✅ QBOX - Compatible with QBOX framework
• ✅ Custom Frameworks - No framework-specific code required

Configuration Options

The config file lets you customize earthquake behavior to match your server's needs. Set minimum and maximum magnitude values, configure how often random earthquakes occur (if enabled), define which player groups can trigger manual events, and adjust the shake intensity multiplier. You can even create earthquake zones that only affect specific areas of the map for localized disaster scenarios.

Roleplay Applications

Emergency services can practice coordinated disaster response - police directing traffic and maintaining order, fire departments conducting search and rescue operations, and EMS treating injuries from falling debris. News reporters can cover the disaster live, broadcasting updates to the community. Government officials can declare states of emergency and coordinate relief efforts.

For criminal roleplay, earthquakes create perfect opportunities for heists during the chaos, or for smugglers to move contraband while law enforcement is distracted. Civilian players experience genuine fear and urgency, creating organic roleplay moments as they seek shelter or help neighbors.

What Makes It Stand Out

Unlike basic screen shake scripts, this earthquake system provides realistic seismic simulation with proper physics impact on vehicles and synchronized server-wide events. The configurable magnitude system means you can create everything from subtle tremors that most players barely notice to catastrophic quakes that completely disrupt server activity. It's the difference between a novelty effect and a genuine gameplay mechanic that enhances immersion.

Technical Specifications

• Resource Usage - 0.01-0.02ms average resmon impact
• Script Type - Client-side effects with server-side synchronization
• Dependencies - None required (standalone)
• Compatibility - All FiveM server versions
• File Size - Lightweight (under 100 KB)

Admin Commands

Trigger manual earthquakes with simple commands: /earthquake [magnitude] [duration] - for example, /earthquake 6.5 20 creates a 6.5 magnitude quake lasting 20 seconds. Stop an ongoing earthquake with /stopquake. Enable or disable random automatic earthquakes with /togglequakes.
